Just a little reminder that its pretty hairy out on the water today, I hope you have a really small kite because its NUKIN. gusts up to 49knts have been recorded, and before you ask NO a 10mtr is not suitable for these conditions, I recommend a hankkerchief today.The swell is also massave at all beaches along the coast.

Kite safe guys n girls.

Man! I take my hat off to anybody with the balls to go out on a day like today in any watersport that deals with the ocean.
Guess that's the type of dedication that Milo boys like me just don't have
Then again this is why it's called an extreme sport I suppose.
"Respect from me" for sure.

This is so right
I think we have to launch an education program under this slogan.
Thank Elmo

How big was the swell, it must have been head and a half at least judging by the swell maps.

Hey Corey!

I was on a 6m Lift, Mike was on a 4m Reactor, Ry was on a 5m Fuel and Dale was on a 7m Bow.
